Embodiment Construction

[0026] With reference to FIG. 1, a known arrangement for enabling mobile communications consists of a mobile station 2 in which a Subscriber Identity Module or SIM 1 is removably installed.

[0027] An SIM is a removable card that is separate from any memory means and it is used for establishing communication between a mobile station and a mobile network. The specification of SIMs is given by “Digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2): Specification of the Subscriber Identity Module—Mobile Equipment (SIM-ME) interface”, ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) specification no. GSM 11.11, which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0028] The mobile station 2 is provided with an antenna which allows wireless communication with a local Base Station 3 connected to a mobile network 4.

[0029] Although not explicitly shown in the figures, the mobile network 4 comprises Mobile Switching Centres (MSCs), which switch speech and data connections between the Base Station...

Abstract

Mobile communications device for accessing a wireless telecommunications network comprising an SIM for identifying the device in a wireless telecommunications network, the SIM comprising an International Mobile Subscriber Identity IMSI code stored therein. The IMSI code comprises a Mobile Country Code MCC, a Mobile Network Code MNC and a Mobile Station Identification Number MSIN and the MCC code has a value that is characteristic of the kind of the mobile communications device.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and mobile communications device using such SIM for implementing additional features in a mobile communication system, specifically in a mobile communication system in which the SIM is not bound to a particular mobile service provider and in which the communications device used by the subscriber can be identified. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In the past years mobile communications devices such as mobile phones have become very popular. The growth of population of subscribers using mobile communications devices has led the network coverage to expand until the most remote or impervious locations of almost all countries. [0003] Moreover, the network operators and the service providers continue to implement an ever increasing number of services which can be personalized and upgraded by the subscriber. [0004] The most commonly used mobile communication technology in Europe is the GSM (Global System for M...
